Quotable

"The best part of my job is designing and developing curriculum and course content that is practical, relevant and which provides a unique learning experience for my students. I enjoy the interaction with my students in classroom and laboratory settings - oftentimes I learn things from them as I am teaching. Advising a student club also provides opportunities to reach my students in positive ways beyond the classroom."
